About the book
Robert Ross, a sensitive nineteen-year-old Canadian officer, went to war -- the War to End All Wars. He found himself in the nightmare world of trench warfare, of mud and smoke, of chlorine gas and rotting corpses. In this world gone mad, Robert Ross performed a last desperate act to declare his commitment to life in the midst of death.
